You and me both. If I could get three more, I would in a heartbeat. Best in-game thing ever.

Yes! Why make mundane tasks EASIER for people in a GAME? Especially a game about SUPERHEROES? Why shouldn't those SUPERHEROES have to walk or TAKE A TRAIN everywhere? What kind of sense does it make for them to get a transportation assist from the organization in the game THAT HAS SUPER-ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND WORKS WITH SUPERHEROES? For NOTHING MORE than a RIDE ACROSS TOWN?!? Why, this is just as bad as that other thing WHERE YOU GET TO CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURES IN A GAME YOU PRESUMABLY ENJOY!!! When oh when is this madness going to stop?!?!?!?!?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Everyone's entitled to their own preferences regarding this game. Regarding Team Transport, mine fall in line with: IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME -- and thank you, CoH!

I also couldn't care less about waiting for Staff Fighting (it'll get here when it gets here and now we know that's next week, so that's that), but I'm very excited about the 50% off Character Slots and I will definitely be buying in bulk specifically for when/if there's more unlocked per server and to use on servers I under-use now. I'll be buying more points next week when Staff Fighting gets here, but I'm fine with budgeting to pay for things I'll enjoy.

This, apparently, can't be repeated often enough. Jetpacks before Pilgrim Hats, please. Make the items everyone expects before you make the items nobody wants.

And you seriously spent the time and money to make an item that's an in-joke reference marketed only to those who both saw and liked a particular comedy from eight years ago? A comedy that has nothing to do with superheroes, even? You could have made any of the pets that actually appear in superhero comic books -- as if, for instance, a version of Shadowcat's dragon wouldn't be an insanely popular item -- and you went with this?

I would love for CoH to be around forever, but you routinely make the most bewildering marketing choices possible. Please stop pursuing any and all items that don't fit the genre of the game you're selling. Thank you.

I totally LOL'd, BBA -- it was a tad tortured on my part -- and thanks!

The Hulk, The Thing, She-Hulk, She-Thing, blah, blah, blah are standard superheroes. Pilgrims are not. You know this. And it shouldn't be news to anybody here that comics themselves are ridiculous. That isn't the point. The point is: "Jetpacks before Pilgrim Hats".

I appreciate that you think the thing you insist on discussing shouldn't be discussed, but, sadly, you don't make the rules (or follow the ones you make) and here we are. I have news: everything you've said is a matter of opinion. And that's how this discussion thing actually works. Yours aren't wrong, and mine -- no matter how much somebody might think otherwise -- aren't wrong, either. You do characterize them inaccurately, but I'm sure other people get the point by now.

And that's not ridiculous?

My greater point somehow continues to get lost. I am now going to condense it into a meme-friendly soundbite: "Jetpacks before Pilgrim Hats".

It is ridiculous that a superhero game isn't first meeting the basic requirements of the genre before introducing other elements that are only put to use by its customers because (a) the basics aren't there and they have to work with something and (b) they spent money on it, so they might as well use it.

Or, in other words, nobody was demanding a Pilgrim hat. But if you want steak and the only restaurant in town is a steakhouse that only serves salad, you eat the salad. Sure would be nice to get steak, though.

My point was that a superhero game should be catering to customers who want to play a superhero game.

To do that, you'd first supply them with things superheroes commonly have before branching out into things that no superhero has. There are no superhero Pilgrims. That's ridiculous. The fact that you can make one in this game, but you can't have a jetpack, for instance, is ridiculous. I can also make a samurai or a boxer in this game, neither of which are superheroes. Yes, I can make them into superheroes -- as if I'd want to -- but I'm out of luck if I just want a hero who has a jetpack?

And I bought the Pilgrim hat, so wrap your head around that one. I have it on hand to use for a scarecrow-monster or a time-traveling Solomon Kane type, both of which would be dark fantasy characters and neither of which would be superheroes, which is ostensibly the focus of this game. But will you see one of my superheroes wearing the Pilgrim hat? Of course not. Why? Because it's a Pilgrim hat.

To put it another way, I actually enjoyed the Disco pack and the Old West Saloon pack (neither of which were named what they really are), but, even though I think they were generally well done, I would have taken actual superhero basics over them in an instant.

This is so obvious I have no idea why it wasn't what was implemented from the start. How can we now have backpacks and a game in which you can be an archer and still not have quivers -- but we can have leprechauns and fireman hats? How does that make any sense at all?

Meanwhile, they could pay the bills on the money they would rake in by simply making the already-existing raptor pack into a backpack option. Instead we can wear hats like the pilgrims. Seriously, what the hell? I want this to be a superhero game, not a kindergarten holiday pageant.

I vote for this one. Barring that, it's A, because the rings ruin B for me. However, I 100% agree with this: "I think it's a bit silly that we can't get just two options for a jetpack seeing as it's probably THE most requested back detail that's ever graced the suggestion forum..." But I do appreciate that you're seeking customer feedback in advance, so kudos for that.

The new Halloween pack is intended to be funny, which is the reason I like it so much. It's designed to evoke Z-list monster movies from the '50s and dime-store Halloween costumes from the '60s. The designs also largely reference Ed Wood and Hammer horror films, and I'm a huge fan of both.

If you're not particularly a fan of either, though, I can see why the new pack would be a disappointment. It's my favorite pack ever, though; I think it's perfectly designed and utterly hysterical.

I don't have access to the game right this second, but there's a "Barbarian" selection under "Gloves". I know this because the selection drives me crazy.

The selection is for 1) bracelets that match the upper arm ring bracers and cover bare flesh or 2) bracelets that match the upper arm bracers and cover tights. What drives me nuts is that you can make the Barbarian belt and upper arm ring bracers two-tone but you can only make the bracelets one-tone with or without the tights gloves, which you can also only make one-tone, which means you can't match these three Barbarian parts unless they're all one-tone. And the belt and bracers look so good two-tone.

Thank you for allowing me to share my pain.

Beautiful costume. Very much enjoy seeing different colors used with this set. And very smart of you to pair the bustle with the pantaloons.

This may be the one costume issue that drives me the most crazy. The wedding pack is an excellent example: why oh why can the bridal skirt be two colors but the exact same design up top can be only one? I have used a second color on the skirt exactly never when I'm matching it with the top. Why would I? So then why have a second color be possible on the skirt?

I told you this drives me crazy. Not thrilled that it's part of the new pack, as well; I can deal with limited choices because of locked colors (though why limit player choices at all when it's a choice to do so?) but not because of missing colors. Please stop doing this.

I won't be able to play with this pack until it goes live, but an armored (in some way) steampunk hero is on my to-do list. I really appreciate this as an example. Great design!

Beautiful design and thank you for showing what some different colors can bring to the set.

You are my new hero! I've been hoping someone would do exactly this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
